TNGF
SELECTED
King Richard II of England
primary
A slender young man of 19 years with delicate features, fair complexion, and shoulder-length golden hair that catches the candlelight. His piercing blue eyes survey the room with a mix of youthful energy and regal composure. His hands are finely manicured, befitting a king who values the arts and refinement.
King John I of Portugal
primary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a strong, regal bearing. His dark hair is streaked with silver, and his neatly trimmed beard frames a face marked by the wisdom of rulership. His piercing dark eyes convey both intelligence and a measured confidence.
English Chancellor
secondary
A middle-aged man of slight build, with sharp, intelligent features and a neatly trimmed beard. His piercing blue eyes scan the documents with meticulous attention, and his posture exudes an air of quiet authority.
Portuguese Ambassador
secondary
A middle-aged man of average height with a lean, wiry build, his sharp features marked by a neatly trimmed beard and piercing dark eyes that miss nothing. His olive complexion and the faint lines around his eyes suggest years spent in both courtly diplomacy and travel under the sun.
Royal Scribe
background
A middle-aged man with a lean build, sharp features, and ink-stained fingers. His keen eyes are focused intently on his work, and his posture is slightly hunched from years of bending over parchment.
Court Herald
background
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a neatly trimmed beard and piercing blue eyes. His deep voice carries effortlessly across the grand hall, a skill honed through years of royal service.

Dialog

King Richard II of England By God's grace and the will of our people, we set our hand to this bond, that it may stand as firm as Windsor's ancient stones.
King John I of Portugal As the tides bind shore to sea, so shall this alliance bind our houses. May our descendants still honor it when these very stones have crumbled.
English Chancellor Your Majesties, all clauses are duly examined and found concordant with both realms' laws. The seals await only your signatures.
Portuguese Ambassador Would it not please both crowns to have the scribes record this hour precisely? That chroniclers may mark when England and Portugal became as two oars in one galley.
King Richard II of England Let it be recorded that on this day, two kings saw beyond the horizon of their own reigns. We sign not for ourselves, but for centuries yet unborn.
